By all accounts, this and Dr. Lee's other two books on manifolds are exceptionally well-written. But my copies arrived from Amazon this week, and, unfortunately, Amazon and Springer have decided to replace the crisp offset-printing of earlier printings by lower quality digitally-printed versions, probably as a cost-cutting measure.
If you care about how books look, I'd suggest trying Amazon marketplace or small retailers elsewhere to increase your odds of getting a superior copy from an earlier printing.
